DESCRIPTION:Inserted into the headlines - enshrined, then buried, then exposed - was 
 the tale of NFL football star-turned-soldier (and south bay native) Pat 
 Tillman, who along with his brother responded to the 9/11 terrorist attacks 
 by enlisting and becoming a U.S. Army Ranger.\n\nMuch was made of the 
 multi-million-dollar football contract Tillman gave up to fight first in 
 Iraq - where he began to question the war - and later in Afghanistan. Even 
 more was made, by the Bush administration, of his death in 2004 during 
 combat; he was held up as an American hero and his memorial service was on 
 national TV. But when stories surfaced that Tillman's demise was the result 
 of "friendly fire", it was war opponents' turn to weigh in, especially 
 given his family's persistent attempts that were repeatedly rebuffed by 
 military officials, to find out what really happened. The military "dance" 
 extended to its responses during Congressional hearings.\n\nIn 2010 
 documentary filmmaker and TV producer Amir Bar-Lev released "The Tillman 
 Story", a documentary film chronicling Tillman's life, brief military 
 career, death and especially the subsequent investigation by Tillman's 
 family and by Congress. On Sunday evening March 13, 6 days before the 8th 
 anniversary of the beginning of the U.S. war on Iraq, Peace Action of San 
 Mateo County will host a free screening of "The Tillman Story". We want to 
 share with our members and friends this history of the details surrounding 
 the death of an American soldier and subsequent coverup of its 
 details.\n\nThe 95-minute film is rated R for some profanity. The UU is 
 wheelchair accessible at the Beck Hall entrance on Ellsworth. Refreshments 
 will be available.\n
